The third number in the naming convention represents the current service pack. The third number changes when the release includes a collection of bug fixes. The release includes a CD with installation instructions.

System Update

The last number in the naming convention (rev number) represents the System Update level—or the build number. This number changes when the release includes fixes for critical issue(s) that are small in number and that are needed immediately for specific customer issues. A system Update number change can occur without a change to other release-related numbers.

All current eFinancials customers are expected to upgrade to a new version level within six months of its general availability. In reference to minor releases, customers are required to install them within 90 days of general availability.

Customers are encouraged to install revisions and System Updates as soon as possible; however, they must be installed within 30 days. Installation of the most current revision for each minor release level within the specified time frames is a prerequisite to problem resolution.
